Letter from the President
TRAVEL IN THESE TIMES

In these times, travel may not be as worry-free as in the recent past, but we can help make your next journey safer and more at ease. In today’s environment of uncertainty it’s too easy to mold ourselves into the common psyche of self doubt and fear about the risks of travel and how others will accept us on our journey. We lose touch with who and what we really are, individual travelers in a world community dedicated to protecting our Mother Earth and improving the well-being of humankind. Our Q&A, “Travel With Confidence”, addresses issues on the minds of many travelers, including a more liberal cancellation policy designed to minimize your financial risk. I invite you to begin your next Wildland Adventure by booking your trip now with confidence.

Alaska Trip Reviews
TRAVELERS' TALK
Alaska Trip Reviews written by travel editors, clients and our own staff document their experiences on our Wildland Adventures. Here are links to two of them:

Alaska Grand Slam! - By Todd Smith
“In over seven years of guiding in Alaska, I've never had such an amazing combination of sun, good companionship, opportunities to meet so many different Alaskans, and so many wildlife encounters in Denali and Prince William Sound, including a super-pod of 60 orcas cavorting and spy-hopping all around the Babkin.” Alaska Explorer - September 2002

Taking the Kids: Denali Adventure and Prince William Sound - By Eileen Ogintz
